    Seriously, I love my chickens. My 2 light brahma pullets have really given me lots to smile about the last 4 weeks. We had to wait to get the rest of the babies from the hatchery until this week and our 4 baby chicks are at my friends house with hers until I go pick them up this weekend. I...

    Chicks first night in the coop.....I'm a nervous wreck!

    You will get over it! I finally put my first 5 out at 9 weeks and 6 weeks old. It was plenty warm enough in the coop at night for them but I felt so horrible to do it. Now the next batch is 5 and 6 weeks and I already shoved them out a week ago lol. After a night they seemed just fine with it...

    GOSLING SCREAMING AT ME! how do I get a break?

    my baby squawks all the time if he's put away. Most of the time I let him play on a bath towel on the floor next to my desk with his food and water. I bring in grass for him to pick through and he has a big jelly worm toy to play with. He's near me so he's happy but I get to do my thing. If he...

    Are all geese agressive.

    I love my gosling! My best friend gave him to me last week as a gift. I have 24 chickens of various ages and I love her ducks and geese. She saw how much they light my eyes up when they were around and she got me one from last weeks hatch. He's a white chinese and I know those are louder and...

    Orscheln's employee LIED to me

    Oh then I'd demand credit for new egg laying birds. If they can't take the birds back they could at least credit you for some new ones. The amount of money that most people probably spend in there for other things surely outweighs the loss of the dollars for a few chicks. If it were MY store I...

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    Quote: Thanks for this info! That is really helpful. It makes sense that they need it a little wider and taller but not deeper. I was mostly concerned about their height getting in and out I think. the rail will help them tremendously.

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    Well that makes sense too. I just didn't want to get it all done and they hate it because it's pitch black in there lol. I think I'll do the double decker option with 4 boxes on top and 4 on bottom. I'll make it an appropriate width for the space it's going on and then put in removable dividers...

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    Do you think it would be good to put a window panel along the back of the nest box setup? Let light in and let them see outside when they go in to lay? Of course it would be covered with hardware cloth and I could get plexiglass to fit the cut. I'm thinking something like this. or have the...

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    thank you so much! this gives me the perfect idea! Yeah, I didn't want to call them 'fat' or 'big boned' or 'heavy breed' because they take offense to that :p

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    Hrm that's good to know. I wanted to build as much of the nest box setup to attach to the outside of the coop as possible so I didn't have to get inside the dang thing.

    Nest Boxes for the plus size girls

    I have found information about the standard size for nest boxes. I am trying to design the nest box setup to attach to the outside of the coop and I can't figure out how big to make it. I realize bigger can be better, but I want to make sure that I make it big enough and then I can add inches...

    thank you,,,everyone this is my last post

    It sounds like the neighbor thought they'd be able to stop you from getting chickens if they stopped you from using the building for them. HA. My best friend has an uppity neighbor that hangs her underwear out to dry on a line in the backyard where all can see. It bugs the heck out of my friend...

    thank you,,,everyone this is my last post

    Quote: That is amazing! I'm so glad that a solution has come. Chickens really are amazing therapy. I have bi-polar type II disorder and even though I'm medicated I still enjoy having things in my life that help relieve stress and keep me busy. I enjoy sitting out with the girls and watching...

    Texas Playhouse coop- too many windows?

    If it were me I would make a table like base for it to sit on. I'd use hardware cloth to cover the inside of all openings that you don't use to open out to a nest box. I'd get some plexiglass and make frames for the remaining windows that are open and hinge them to all the windows putting a thin...

    Update: OMGosh I was given a coop

    I painted the coop and put in a new door that opens to the run. The wire is up on half the run too. I need to finish putting up fencing and put a new roof on the coop. I need to take pics too!
